Impatica for PowerPoint software program reads and interprets PowerPoint files for use over the web.

How Impatica works:

Impatica takes PowerPoint presentations, including any associated sound, animation, or video components and coverts it into a compressed form. The presentation can then be accessed from a webpage where a small Java applet streams the content.

Significant advantages:

Data compression – average 95%. Especially important for presentations with multimedia files

Impaticized presentations are tiny, secure, and cannot be altered

Plug-in free delivery over the internet- no special software required, thus Impacticized presentations do not require Microsoft PowerPoint application installed on the user's computer

Impaticized presentation can be uploaded to Blackboard and or email without large cumbersome attachments. Playback is faster!

The Office of Instructional Technology (OIT) can give you a copy of the software and the license number to install it. You need to bring a blank CD to the OIT Office (C-559) to make a copy of the software and contact the IT Department in order to be able to
install it on your computer.
